Sir

I have examined the 49 Swords at Mr. Lemons, and broke in Proof 8, leaving 41 Servicable, which I have altered according to Mr. Limuel Taylor's orders.  I have examined at Mr. Wm. Hollins's 238 muskets of a good Quality, 9 of them, the Hammers were soft, 34 The breeching projected beyond the touchole, which defects I have remedy'd, one bayonet broke in proof, not yet replaced.

I examined Mr. Carthaus's Pistols.  There is 12 pair that may do with wiping up.

I have overhauled The whole of Mr. A Cloppers muskets, and find only Fifty, That are any way Servicable for Militia.  They are nearly alike wide in The Caliber.  They have brass pans.  I have them in my possession.  They want to be wiped up and some trifling repairs done to some of them.

likewise the whole of Captn. Stiles Arms.  They are of the same Quality of Mr. Clopper's. I have selected 30 from his of the same finish as Mr. Cloppers / Brass pans /.  The bayonets of neither sample are as good as they ought to be.
